Formerly a Milton Brewery pub, Five Points took on this legendary Hackney pub earlier in 2018 and it’s now back open again after a sympathetic – and much needed – refurb. They’ve done a great job, retaining the pub’s old character while making it is much smarter and more comfortable. There are 16 keg lines, with a couple of duplicates, so around 14 drafts alongside 6 cask ales, the selection including Five Points beers plus high quality guests. Food is pizza – and it looks excellent. The plan is to install a pilot brewkit for small batch brews, so watch this space.
